Is Mills Serious?

An Accra private paper, 'The Accra Mail' says barely a week after widows of the murdered military Heads of State appealed to President Kufuor for decent burials for their slain husbands, Prof. J.E.A. Mills, the defeated NDC Presidential Candidate in Election 2000, was at the head of a number of party malcontents, bleating for public sympathy, claiming bad treatment at the hands of the new government.

Professor Mills, at the time he was bleating his complaints, was, thanks to the good graces of President Kufuor's government, still comfortably ensconced in the official resident of Ghana's Vice Presidents, thereby denying the incumbent the right to his official abode.

The new Vice-President was still living in his private residence as at the time of this publication with the state frantically trying to cobble up something for him.

"That in summary is the legacy of the Rawings/Mills years, and that alone must be enough to shut Mills up," the paper said.
